Frequently Asked Questions
Here are common questions people ask when it comes to arborist reports and consultancy services — particularly for planning, safety and compliance.
Do I need an arborist report before building a house?
If trees are located near the proposed construction zone, yes. An arborist can assess the potential impact on nearby trees and recommend ways to protect them or justify removal. Councils often require tree protection plans or root mapping reports before approving DAs. Early advice from an arborist can help you avoid costly delays.
How soon will I get the report after the site visit?
Turnaround times vary depending on the scope, but most standard arborist reports are delivered within 3–5 business days of the site visit. For more complex assessments, especially those involving multiple trees or follow-up research, we’ll give you an expected timeline upfront and keep you updated on progress.
Is a Level 4 arborist required for reports?
Yes, for most official purposes, especially development applications and legal matters, a report must be prepared by a qualified AQF Level 4 arborist. This ensures the report meets industry standards and will be accepted by councils, insurers, or legal representatives. Always check your consultant’s qualifications before proceeding.
Clear Advice, Trusted Reports
Getting an arborist report isn’t just about paperwork, it’s about understanding the trees on your land and making confident decisions. In Lake Cathie, we work with homeowners, developers, strata managers and councils to assess trees of all types and conditions. We use the latest assessment tools to identify risks, root issues, structural defects or decay, and document everything in easy-to-follow reports. Whether you need a risk assessment after storm damage or a formal report to support a DA submission, we’ll guide you through it. We pride ourselves on being approachable, responsive, and focused on solutions that suit your site.
Tailored Reports for Any Need
Not all tree reports are the same. We provide everything from general health assessments and root mapping to impact assessments for construction and arboricultural method statements. If your project involves excavation, drainage or building near tree protection zones, our consultancy services ensure your plans comply with local regulations. We understand council requirements across the Mid North Coast and tailor our reporting style accordingly — clear, concise and ready for approval. Our team is happy to meet on-site to discuss your goals, provide verbal advice, and offer follow-up support if needed. We’re here to make complex tree decisions simple.
Local Knowledge You Can Rely On
Lake Cathie has its own unique mix of coastal conditions, soil types and vegetation, so local experience matters. With decades of regional knowledge behind us, we know how to assess native species like eucalypts, banksias and paperbarks, as well as established non-natives that might pose risks. Our approach is always site-specific and informed by real-world outcomes. From backyard assessments to large-scale developments, our focus is the same: honest advice, safety-first solutions, and clear reporting. If you’re not sure where to start, we’ll walk you through the process and answer your questions, without the jargon.
